37-year-old Ben Renyard accused of knife attack in Morpeth, bail decision on Oct 8.
Ben Renyard, 37, faces charges of wounding and reckless wounding for allegedly throwing a knife that injured a 26-year-old man in Morpeth. In Newcastle Local Court, his lawyer argued for conditional bail, citing a lack of CCTV evidence and the victim's statement denying an argument. Prosecutors opposed bail, fearing witness interference and further offenses. Magistrate Ian Cheetham will decide on bail next Friday, while Renyard's unrelated imprisonment ends on October 8.
